; To kill some tasks prior to running any CPU-intensive apps; Date: 18/03/2006; Modified from its original version due to a request in DC forums; Refer: hxxp://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=3413.0; Adjust path to PsKill as necessary...

#SingleInstance ignore#NoTrayIconDetectHiddenWindows OnSetTitleMatchMode 2 ; not sure if needed but just in case.

zeemar:actually, you need to specify like this:;declare all unwanted processes;just processes' name will doToClose =( Join|InoRTjuschedInoTask)

without the .exe because in the line below, each of the processes is added with .exe (of course, this is not good for portability but then i hadn't checked it thoroughly) Process, Exist, %A_LoopField%.exe

- To monitor the processes every 15 mins or so and kill them.- To have an input dialog which takes in the list of processes, like the processKiller created by jpaigva

glad to see it was of use to you, zeemar.. as for the 1st request, SetTimer function can do the trick. modify the code as below, the newly-added lines are in blue:

SetTimer, CloseAll, 250Return

CloseAll:;declare all unwanted processes;just processes' name will doToClose =( Join|InoRTjuschedInoTask)

Quick question for jgpaiva though, Is there a maximum number of processes that can be killed at once? (or a text limiter to the commandline?) or can i just copy a huge list of exe's into it for example

exe1,exe2,3,4,....20

Thanks in advance XD, Definitely one to add to my software collection :-p

Hi Felicia!Does ProcessKiller work for you? It strange it didn't work for zeemar.No, no problem, if you don't go over the 4mb of text (which would take like..hum...20k words? ), no problem. At least, it shouldn't.Oh, and to use a big list, maybe you should think about using the command line parameters, so that you don't have to paste the whole line everytime you run it. (just remember that for the commandline parameters, the names of the processes are separated by spaces, and not commas.)bye!

YAY! Thank you jgpaiva processkiller is the best single file program I have downloaded, Now the annoying windows update please restart box won't keep popping up on me. (Yes I could disable it, but I am too lazy to do that, and I may want it back later, I dunno)
